I'm sure everyone has noticed, everyone who's played through the series that is. From Halo CE to Halo Reach.

If you played CE you would appreciate the nostalgia Halo 3 delivered when they brought the AR and Magnum (although the lack of scope probably made some gamers a tad irate) But does Chief know... From the time period between Halo CE and Halo 3 Chief never questioned the lack of the Assault Rifle in Halo 2.

Wtf, John. I know you know you have augmented vision, you can see in the dark, yet you can't notice the absence of a weapon you used a couple months prior to getting in the Cairo?

Halo Reach is another problem. Nobody noticed following Reach's downfall, that the Jackals switched to Carbines after needle rifles. And plasma repeaters just vanished along with the entire species of Skirmirshers?

Just sayin' that Chief and a majority of the other SPARTANS are blind.

This is my theory.

Assault Rifle and Magnum disappearances from Halo 2 to 3. (Which by the way is again ridiculous, Halo 3 picks up directly off of Halo 2!)

1. ONI ran out of money and said... "Here take this SMG, it's clearly weaker than the Assault Rifle, but I'm sure you'll find use for it.

As for the magnums; ONI said, once you go black you never go back. Then they realized that all the SPARTANS became annoyed without the scope and claimed s**t we're screwed.

____________

Slight armor variation from Chief's time in the dreadnaught to earth. (Like 70 miles)

1. While floating down from the heavens Chief decided to stop the falling and replace his cuffs and then continued to fall to earth.

2. This scenario:

Hood: Chief, what the hell are you doing?

Chief: Finishing this fight.

Hood: NOT WITHOUT NEW CUFFS B***H!

And so it was done.

Anyway, that's all I got.

I laughed, nice thread OP. I wondered about that too.

TL;DR

Well what is more important, the fact that things like the canon make perfect sense over a period of years where 4 games are developed, or whether or not they're good games. Bungie obviously knows things are somewhat different. For instanse, there's a spartan laser on Reach, while it's only other appearance is in Halo 3. That doesn't make sense, but it's just how it is. They couldn't just leave out the Spartan Laser from Reach because technically it was before other Halo titles. Forget everything making sense, in the end, the games quality is what matters.

Don't forget the Halo 3 Assault Rifle. The canon explanation for reducing it's size clip just doesn't add up.

I miss Halo. Maybe Halo 4 will change that.

Edit: Lol nope

I like the fact that it's a game.
